Information and communication technologies are an integral part of Smart Grid development, as they provides capabilities such as supporting two-way energy and information flow, isolating and restoring power outages more quickly, facilitate integration of renewable energy sources and provides consumers with options to optimise their energy use.

Against this backdrop, SMi's 3rd annual Telecoms for Smart Grids conference will focus on all communications aspects that are relevant to the Smart Grid and will bring together experts from UK and European Utilities, Government and leading communication technology authorities. The two-day event will provide the perfect platform to exchange novel ideas, explore enabling technologies, discuss innovative designs, and share field trial experiences and lessons learnt for future communications projects.
